LG G watch and Gear Live Strap Replacement

Are you planning to replace the strap on Samsung Gear Live or LG G smartwatch? if you already have your Android Wear smartwatch and already replaced the strap with another strap please shows us some... what is the best strap for LG G and Samsung Gear Live?

This of course, leaves me more in the dark. I'm guessing this means we can't just use any 22mm watch band like the LG version can? Anyone have the Gear Live in hand that can share for certain?

I'm leaning toward the Gear Live as the curve of the back looks to be a better fit on my petite wrist (15cm around) - but would like the option to add a more feminine band.

that report is wrong. well i guess it's not wrong in that the strap that comes with the gear live (and the gear 2/gear 2 neo) has a different type of connector ON THAT BAND ITSELF. remove it, and any standard 22mm band with a standard connector will work just fine on the gear live. so that review blurb is certainly misleading (leaning towards being flat out wrong). i'll say it once more. you can use any 22mm watch band with this. hell, you could use the LG band if you wanted to...

Thank you for the clarification!

Now to just decide which watch to actually get. I can't seem to decide what direction to go in. Hoping they get them in stores so I can try them both on and decide.

Gear Live strap is replaceable and can accept the Gear 2 strap but the lines of the watch won't blend into the strap as well. Gear Live band is wider at the point of contact than a Gear 2 one. It will certainly attach just fine though.

It is replaceable but I don't like the way it looks because of the shape of the Live watch and the stock strap stinks. I went with the LG, swapped out the band and the watch looks even better than before.

Sadly, the ebay metal ones I have on the pebble and now the G Watch do show some wear over time. Particularly the clasp where it comes in contact with the desk. The G Watch one is new, but I'm sure it will get scratched up eventually.
